When he had seen this, Friar Leo came to himself again. Then St. Francis, perceiving in the spirit that Friar Leo had seen some vision, questioned him about what he had seen. When Friar Leo had told him the whole vision in order, St. Francis said, “That which you have seen is true. The great river is the world; the friars who were drowning in the river are those who follow not the Gospel profession, especially with regard to most high Poverty. But they who passed over without danger are those friars who neither seek nor possess in this world any earthly or carnal thing. Having food and clothing, they are content to follow Christ naked on the Cross. Gladly and willingly do they bear the burden and sweet yoke of Christ and of most holy Obedience, whereby they pass without difficulty from the temporal life to the life eternal.”

— from Little Flowers of St. Francis of Assisi, Chapter XXVI
